  1. Frickin Louie it's not the first time you've pulled that sh*t. Jake in for Louie. He'll get going.
  2. You give a rational summation of expectations with the info coming from the podium. Real life results show Canada may expect 22,000 total deaths with reopening, including kids going back to school. We have similar demographics to Sweden so it's one way to make a reasonable projection. One reason why the real life deaths are so low may be because of T cell immunity (theory?). Up to 70% of the population may have this (genetic?) immunity, so that would explain why the virus numbers crash with only 10 or 20 percent of the population having antibodies. Hopefully this is fact. Kids have already been to school in Sweden. Going back in fall and the colder weather will be the final test to see if their approach was the way to go.
  3. Do you agree with the CDC chief who says the best estimate for actual cases is 10 times higher than the official count? Would that make the mortality rate .34%? https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/25/cdc-coronavirus-infections-higher-than-confirmed-339963
  4. You definitely scored a big win there. 1 in 1700 it is. Spanish flu was only 50 times worse.
  5. There is probably no way of escaping the inevitable but small level of death from it unless you believe in locking down forever. Perhaps I'm a bad person, but1 in 17000 people dying, doesn't justify shutting anything down as far as I'm concerned. The world would have stopped a long time ago if people fretted about living with that level of risk.
  6. When people stop dying from it like in Sweden, where they let it run it's course, it's over. If there is a second wave of death there, I will be wrong.
  7. Covid only took out .006 % of the Swedish population. The Spanish flu took out 3% of the world population. The Spanish flu was 500 times more deadly than Covid in Sweden. If the mortality rate is so high, as your stats show, and actual deaths are so low, very few people must be catching Covid. Another possibility is that many people who caught the disease were not counted. The CDC director in the States has suggested the case numbers may be 10 times higher than reported. If Sweden has a second wave, then it's still an open debate.
  8. True. They didn't need to let it get into long term care facilities as they did. Still their overall death toll (1 in 17000 ) makes me believe this virus is not very deadly. I'm happy about it. Maybe it mutated into a less serious form since it was in Wuhan.
  9. The reffing actually stayed good until Horton got hurt then we went back to anything goes.
  10. Nows the time he needs to relearn it. When you play the same a@#holes the next game, it's a must.
  11. Have to admit I see the value in playoffs I did not see during the regular season.
